Our products and services

We provide a variety of services for people and businesses. Here's a glimpse at what we
offer.

What we do for you

Larry Page, our co-founder and CEO, once described the “perfect search engine” as
something that “understands exactly what you mean and gives you back exactly what you
want.” Since he spoke those words Google has grown to offer products beyond search, but
the spirit of what he said remains. With all our technologies—from search to Chrome to
Gmail—our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to find the information you
need and get the things you need to do done.

This means making search smarter and faster, so it can understand that when you type
[jaguar] you’re looking for the car, not photos of the animal. It means showing you
when your friends like an ad or a search result, so that you know it might be valuable.
It means making our products work intuitively, so that you can share documents with
Gmail contacts without having to copy and paste, and open the same tabs on your Android
phone that you have open on your Chrome browser on your desktop. Above all, it means
making our products work better so that people can spend time on the stuff they’re good
at—like enjoying time with family, camping in the wilderness, painting a picture or
throwing a party. We’re not there yet, but we’re working on it.

What we do for businesses

We provide a variety of tools to help businesses of all kinds succeed on and off the
web. These programs form the backbone of our own business; they’ve also enabled
entrepreneurs and publishers around the world to grow theirs. Our advertising programs,
which range from simple text ads to rich media ads, help businesses find customers, and
help publishers make money off of their content. We also provide cloud computing tools
for businesses that save money and help organizations be more productive.

What we do for the web

We build products that we hope will make the web better—and therefore your experience
on the web better. With products like Chrome and Android, we want to make it simpler
and faster for people to do what they want to online. We’re also committed to the open
web, so we’re involved in various projects to make it easier for developers to
contribute to the online ecosystem and move the web forward. And we work hard to create
a web that’s better for the environment, by
using resources efficiently and supporting renewable power. The web has evolved
enormously since Google first appeared on the scene, but one thing that hasn't changed
is our belief in the endless possibilities of the Internet itself.
